In the midst of the environmental challenges facing Chile, two Industrial Civil Engineering students at the Universidad del B\u00edo-B\u00edo, Constanza Soto and Franco Cariqueo, have created an ecological firewood called Calory Bricks,<\/strong> made from forest residues<\/a><\/strong> that promises to reduce polluting emissions by 99.4%.<\/p>\n\n
